Well, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Yes, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Oh nothin' but the devil
Changed my baby's mind
It was nothin' but the devil
Changed my baby's mind

Well, I laid down last night
Get my natural rest
Yes, I laid down last night
To get my natural rest
Well my mind got to rambling
Like a wild geese in the west

The woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Yes, the woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again

Well, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Yes, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
